POLAND: Poll Declares Komorowski Debate Winner.

REUTERS/    Polls say front runner Bronislaw Komorowski won Sunday's first TV presidential debate with his right-wing rival Jarosaw Kaczynski but failed to increase his constituency. A GfK Polonia survey said 52% believed Komorowski had triumphed versus 28% for Kaczynski. About 15% feel the debate ended in a tie. "Komorowski was more active, attacked Kaczynski more sharply," the Gazeta Wyborcza daily wrote in an editorial on Monday. "Kaczynski was more withdrawn, he spoke more slowly. It could be seen that he was trying above all to stay calm."
